Forest Products Industry Group

Services to Forest Products Companies

In addition to financial accounting and tax compliance services, we are experienced in consulting to forest products companies. Where appropriate, we take a holistic view of our clients needs, and seek strategies that optimize their corporate and individual income taxes while building a proper foundation for ownership changes.

Instead of merely identifying problems, we help you consider your future and develop forward thinking strategies to achieve your goals.

Our consulting engagements have included:

Planning for clients for the tax advantages inherent in timber ownership and harvest, Internal Revenue Code Sections 631(a) and (b), timber depletion, tax deferred exchanges, preferred methods of accounting for government timber, and reforestation incentives
Assisting clients with the financial aspects of acquiring hundreds of thousands of timberland acres
Assisting in feasibility studies, financial modeling, and securing both acquisition and permanent financing
Consulting with clients to modify their internal controls throughout the entire raw materials flow – from standing timber to finished lumber.
Providing complete full-service, third-party verification of compliance with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative ® (SFI) objectives, performance measures, and indicators
